#Fanfic problems

Working on my Poolverine fic and trying to decide if having Logan say “Shhhhh, Daddy’s talking” to Wade is too out of character lmao

[runicmagitek]

Fellow fic writers, please watch out for Dulcie Ruiz (@/perfectlygloriousllama on Tumblr, @/_dulcerrr_ on Twitter, and (currently lol) @/dulcerelapsed on AO3), who is sending messages to people and offering to create fanart.

They are not an artist. They are shitting out AI-generated trash.

I have already received comments on random fics from this person and reported them to AO3. Looks like the old account was removed and they unfortunately made a new one, because my dear friend @wingsyouburn received a similar comment literally today.

Another friend received a message from them on Twitter and I realized this person was following (and is now blocked lol).

And this same asshole took advantage of my friend, who was delighted to hear someone wanted to make art for her based on her fics, and realized it looked fuck all like the character she requested.

I don't appreciate some AI hack taking advantage of my friends and I also don't appreciate this fuckwad trying to weasel into fandom spaces with literally no effort. I highly recommend reporting any comments from this user on AO3 and also anyone with similar messages. I also recommend blocking anyone who solicits to make something for you while being incredibly vague and, you know, suspicious as fuck. Please spread the word and fuck AI "art" with a cactus.

Hey I got this comment on one of my fics this morning and it looked pretty sketchy. Anyone know anything about this?

Update: I have reported this as spam, but please keep spreading this to help fellow fanfic authors.

Fandom Problem #4433:

While it's true that many people create fanfic or fan art as "practice" with hopes that it will lead to a possible future career in writing or art, I think sometimes people forget that that isn't the case for EVERYONE who makes fanart or fanfic. Sometimes it IS just a side hobby that they do for fun, they have no plans to turn it into a "career" and that's perfectly okay.

So when people get pissy that their unsolicited criticism isn't appreciated and justify it with "well if no one TELLS them then how are they going to improve??" Well, chances are that instead you just made it LESS likely that they'll post their content, which, again, is something they made for fun in their free time and allowed you to consume for free.

And even when people DO specifically ask for constructive criticism, people forget there's a POLITE way to give feedback, and just see it as a free pass to be an asshole.

My toxic trait is knowing that AO3 is down but still going there because maybe they were lying 🧐

Reader: where's the next chapter?!

Me, the writer: *looks around * man, I wish I knew.

ao3 writers who are not on tumblr you’re honestly so brave... you’re happy to just post the fic and leave it alone? you do not care about ppl perceiving? living in the blissful quiet away from the burning hellfire that is social media on the daily? moving in silence. protecting your peace. that’s ninja shit.

Colin: *finds her, softly smiley*

Pen: *walks to him* Good evening

Colin: *blushy smile*

Pen: How is your hand?

Colin: Much better, thanks to you.

Pen: Im sorry again for reading your writing. But you truly write so well. You make it seem effortless which is so difficult to do.

Colin: *blushing profusely*

Pen: I’d very much like to read more one day if you would let me.

Colin: Pen, if that is true why did you not reply to my letters? I did send you so many.

Pen: *nervous* I was angry at you for what you said and I did not wish to be reminded of it all.

Colin: Oh. So you did not read them?

Pen: *suddenly defensive* I did not say that.

Colin: *heated eye contact*

Pen: *drinks nervously*

Colin: *smirky* I will consider your request if you speak to at least one lord tonight.

In todays serving of delulu i have written a bunch of cut/missing scenes type shit that should’ve happened pertaining to the letters yes i am harping on about that i realize but the devils bunnies do what they do don’t question the poor medium trying to breathe till the 13th
